Christmas Cracker


I am a quest designer on THE GAME this month. The Challenge this week is to create a Christmas Cracker. Please check the site for challenge rules.

To create my cracker, I wrapped a toilet paper roll with red burlap and tied the ends with some red and white eyelash yarn. I then tied on some greenery and a snowflake button and little golden bell. The image is from Gecko Galz. This beautiful vintage woman in all her winter finery is from the Chic Christmas sheet.

I hope you have been inspired to create your own cracker and submit a photo to the challenge. Make sure you put something wonderful inside so you can then gift your cracker. This one is filled with chocolate covered cherries, yum!

I am entering this Christmas cracker in the following challenges:

Pile it On - #49 embellishments
Pause Dream Enjoy - #50 snow
The Squirrel & Fox - #33 Christmas
Simon Says Stamp & Show - gift giving
Kaboodle Doodles - #150 Christmas

Your Christmas cracker is darling. I love your colorized vintage image on the label. So cute. The touches of greenery and jingle bells to tie off the cracker really finish up the holiday look. Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
